PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers were bullied the last time they faced the Baltimore Ravens. In a rivalry mostly defined by physicality http://www.lionscheapstore.com/jahlani-tavai-jersey-cheap , that might be the worst that could be said about either side following a game.When the Steelers travel to Baltimore for their second matchup on Sunday they want to re-establish an aggressive approach on their way to what would be a third straight win against AFC North opponents.“This Pittsburgh-Ravens matchup, they have some hard guys up front. We do, too,” guard Ramon Foster said. “We have to be on top of our job. … Get away from the run early and it could be a long day for us. Unless Ben (Roethlisberger) is just airing it out and pushing everybody’s fantasy points up.”In their 26-14 home loss to Baltimore in Week 4, Pittsburgh was limited to 19 yards rushing on 11 carries. It has averaged 137 yards on the ground in three straight wins since, including 168 yards in a 33-18 victory against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday.Those three wins have the Steelers atop the AFC North at 4-2-1 Will Harris Jersey , ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals (5-3). The Ravens have lost three of four games since defeating the Steelers, leaving them at 4-4.Foster said Baltimore’s recent slump has surprised him, but he expects the Ravens to “do everything they can not to stay that way.”“We have to be on our game,” Foster said. “It’s shocking, but me knowing them, they’re going to give us their all.”Part of being on their game would include the Steelers converting first downs http://www.lionscheapstore.com/austin-bryant-jersey-cheap , limiting the Ravens’ possessions and establishing an early lead. That’s a recipe they didn’t follow last time.Pittsburgh fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter before tying it before halftime. Because of their lack of success early, the Steelers turned away from the run and relied almost exclusively on Roethlisberger.After that seemingly worked, Pittsburgh stuck with the pass in the second half, when it was outscored 12-0. Six second-half drives ended with one interception, four punts and one turnover on downs.“We can’t have three three-and-outs and let them score 14 points,” Foster said. “That falls on us. Mainly the offense because we had some terrible plays. We can’t have that.”The fix is simple http://www.packerscheapstore.com/rashan-gary-jersey-cheap , at least according to center Maurkice Pouncey.“We just have to play better, block guys better, get better fits on guys,” Pouncey said, “and make sure the running back has lanes to run into.”That running back will be James Conner more often than not. He’s averaged 85.6 rushing yards in seven games during his second NFL season, but had a season-low 2.11 yards per rush against Baltimore.Pouncey credited the Ravens for their defensive success in the first game. He also knows they can make it difficult again Sunday.“They have the core guys that they have. They like to bring in the guys that fit their system Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey ,” Pouncey said. “They have a great coaching staff, a great organization. So it speaks a lot about them. They’re always really good.”But the Steelers think they are, too. On Sunday, they want to take another step toward proving it.“Everybody’s desperate this time of year,” Foster said. “Especially when you have, for us http://www.packerscheapstore.com/elgton-jenkins-jersey-cheap , three back-to-back division games. I don’t think it’s a make-or-break (game), but they want to win it just as bad as we do.” The Eagles got a much-needed win in Los Angeles in Sunday night and they’ll stick with Nick Foles at quarterback as they try for another one against the Texans in Week 16.Head coach Doug Pederson made that announcement at his press conference on Monday morning and it wasn’t a particularly surprising one based on Pederson’s last update on Carson Wentz‘s health. Pederson said last week that it could be three months until Wentz was recovered from the fracture in his back that knocked him out of the lineup.Pederson provided a rosier outlook about Wentz’s health on Monday, however. He called Wentz “week to week” after getting more positive information about his condition. As a result, Wentz won’t go on injured reserve and Pederson said he remains the starter when healthy.Whether that point will come before the 2019 season could be tied to how much longer the Eagles play this season. Winning against Houston and Washington alone isn’t enough for them to make the playoffs, so their season might not go on long enough for Pederson to make a call between two quarterbacks healthy enough to play.
